Tom Petsinis’ The French Mathematician (Walker & Co, 1998) is a biographical novel showing the fateful journey of the gifted, 19th-century French mathematics genius Evariste Galois in his voice. The young mathematics student narrates the events, and his circumstances, leading to the duel that would cost him his life. We see Galois struggling with his…

Once in a while you come across a book that has a complete worldview, or let me call it lifeview, of a subject that otherwise sounds unfathomable. Ernest Becker’s The Denial of Death (The Free Press, 1973) is one such book—a masterpiece of knowledge, insight, and reason squeezed into nearly 300 pages. Becker explores the…

A follow-up to his 2014 documentary We Need to Talk About Sandy Hook, writer and director Peter Klein’s The Life of Adam (2015) scrutinizes the person, or character, called Adam Lanza – the alleged shooter in the Sandy Hook incident/story.

Raising interesting questions out of prevailing scientific research and in relevance to human history and culture isn’t a skill every science writer exhibits; but Tim Ferris surely does. His book The Mind’s Sky: Human Intelligence in a Cosmic Context (Bantam Book, 1993) engages the reader by employing this very skill to connect dots starting from…

This film has some important material to question the authenticity of the Sandy Hook shooting, or the Sandy Hook hoax, as many now remember it. Peter Klein’s nearly 3-hour long documentary We Need to Talk About Sandy Hook…

by Ann Harrison On sites such as Amazon and Yelp, you can read customer reviews for a product or service, before you make a purchase. Are all customer reviews as positive as they seem? Unfortunately, a large percentage of the so-called positive reviews you see online are not legitimate. The reason for this is that…

“I called for assistance. It never arrived!” It’s an intense film with lots of gun fight, great cinematography, and a gripping depiction of six American soldiers who saved the lives of many countrymen during the infamous Benghazi attacks of September 2012. The darkest side of this trial depicted in the film of course is the…
